That's all well and good but I'd love to hear about cruising off Argentina
and all those places you mentioned since I hope to do that someday. And by
then I hope to speak Spanish. The last 3 classes I signed up for all
cancelled for lack of enrollment but I'm not quitting. And after that,
French, then after that, well I don't know yet. But I think 3 languages is
important and am trying to get number two under my belt. So I hope all the
Spanish speakers stay around and some Spanish here and there on the list is
just fine with me.

> Hi,
>
> English has always been the official language of worldcruising. If we want
to write in Spanish or in Portuguese (which has never occurred so far), then
we should consider the idea of having a new list for this purpose.
>
> Creating a new list is a quite simple task. You just have to visit
http://www.egroups.com and follow the instructions. I've done this many
times. Then, and that's the most difficult part, you have to make people
believe this is an important list, and it is worth to join. Participants of
worldcruising could be invited to this new list, and they would have to
decide whether to join this new list and keep receiving messages in
worldcruising, or to choose one of them. Most of them will prefer to ignore
it, as they don't speak neither English, nor Portuguese
>
> In my opinion, I think we could have a list to discuss in Spanish and in
Portuguese matters concerning the challenges of sailing in all the
magnificent places we have off the coast of Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil
Guianas, Fernando de Noronha, Abrolhos, Malvinas...
>
> If you want to give it a try, I am myself owner of a list called Velejar.
It could be used as a prolegomena, the embryo of the new list. The addresses
can be find below.
